Wonderful, yes, but strange. What are the odds that a Podunk village like London would have two great limerick masters? I'm not saying that Rhubarb Commando is A C Bowden and vice versa. I'm just saying...

Ever see then on the same stage at the same time?

It's only ACB who comes from the podunk village, jj - I come from the up-market, highly civilised city of Lancaster, Lancashire, which is far removed from the stinks and stews of London (removed by better part of 300 good miles!)

Well, I tended to use the cellars of coffee bars and play washboard in skiffle groups.

But, in any case, that was prolly a bit before your time in The Great Wen

And you're quite right: la politesse is the leit motif of our exponent of the sackbut (Thinks: Did he play in the Tittipu Town Band?)

Gee whiz, Commando, intellectual banter such as that is usually overheard only in downtown London. I, a country girl, am impressed. ____________________________________________________________With every post you post the proof of your immortality is hereby reaffirmed.
